As the March 25/27 launch date of the Nintendo 3DS creeps ever closer, Japanesetechnology giant Nintendo has continued to turn the screw of consumer intrigue by confirming the console’s first wave of videogame titles.
Set for release on the same day as the eagerly anticipated dual-screen stereoscopichandheld, the opening salvo of software will include first-party offerings such as Pilotwings: Resort (which takes place above the Wii Sports Resort island), and pet simulator Nintendogs + Cats.
On the third-party side, prospective buyers can look forward to: Capcom’s Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition; EA’s The Sims and Madden NFL Football; Konami’s PES 2011 3D; Namco’s Ridge Racer 3D; KOEI’s Samurai Warriors: Chronicles and SEGA’s Super Monkey Ball 3D.
With poor third-party software support usually a common complaint where Nintendo hardware is concerned, the 3DS promises to be the exception to the rule thanks to other launch titles such as LucasArts’ LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, and a raft of Ubisoft releases such as Asphalt, Rayman, Splinter Cell 3D and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars.
Beyond the console’s initial launch window, major first-party franchise games The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and Kid Icarus are all expected shortly thereafter.
